This is a bit off topic for this forum (unless the modem is running Fedora). It would have been a good idea to have told us what the model and the firmware of the modem is. Then someone might have been able to give you a definitive answer. As it is, all we can say is maybe. I have a couple of adsl modems I am not using right now. One I can telnet into, but I don't specifically remember being able to reboot it from the command line. The other one has a web interface, and I think changing certain settings will force a reboot. If the problem you are trying to fix is that the modem is hung, you might not be able to issues the commands (if any) to get it to reboot.
